Description Frank Schönheit 2003-08-02 15:22:19 UTC 
When you create an instance of css.text.MailMerge, and try to restrict the data
it is based on with the "Filter" property, this does work - the filter is
completely ignored.
Sample macro to be attached.

Comment 2 Frank Schönheit 2003-08-02 15:27:18 UTC 
fs->tl: The problem is the wrong, or at least sub-optimal
initialization of bEscapeProcessing in SwXMailMerge::SwXMailMerge.
It's initialized to FALSE, which means that by definition, properties
such as "Filter" and "Order" are ignore, except the caller sets
"EscapeProcessing" to TRUE.
(when doing so, the macro indeed works as expected)

I suggest to simply change the default of this setting. Else,
everybody who will use a TABLE or QUERY with the MailMerge service
will have to explicitly set EscapeProcessing - which is a
contradiction in itself.
All other services which implement the DataAccessDescriptor, such as
the row set, default the property to TRUE, so MailMerge should do
this, too.
Comment 3 Frank Schönheit 2003-08-02 15:27:56 UTC 
fs->tl: I suggest targeting this to 1.1.1, since the MailMerge API is
a major new feature of 1.1 ....
